-Run the `make` commands described in the [README.md](./README.md) file:
-
-```
-ubuntu@xos:~/xos/xos/configurations/cord-pod$ make
-ubuntu@xos:~/xos/xos/configurations/cord-pod$ make vtn
-ubuntu@xos:~/xos/xos/configurations/cord-pod$ make cord
-```

-The first `make` command initializes XOS and configures it to talk to OpenStack.
-After running it you should be able to login to the XOS UI at http://xos
-using credentials padmin@vicci.org/letmein.

-The `make vtn` tells XOS to start and configure the ONOS VTN app.  The `make cord`
-installs the CORD services in XOS and configures a sample subscriber; the end
-result is that XOS will spin up the subscriber's vSG.
